Ask yourself this. Who has more influence, your name on the do not call register or the lobbyists and congress men and women who get paid to insure it is ignored?
They called earlier this morning. The only reason I answered it was because I thought this was a client or prospect for our company. She identified her company as Sparks Research and wanted to speak with the "person who handles the account with Windstream". I said they weren't available and she said they would call again later. Well, later is now as 5 hours later they called back. This time I did not answer and they did not leave a message. The caller ID shows Sparks.
Not a scam. I was actually just hired by these people to conduct telephone surveys. The surveys don't ask for any personal information and they do not sell anything. We're only gathering your opinions about the goods, services, or businesses that we're surveying.
